IIRC, the date data types and support for them in DDS was added at V3R1 and V3R6, or certainly by V3R2 and V3R7, in preparation for "Y2K" ...

Also, with OS/400 and IBM i, it is possible to create a physical file with DDS source, and then alter it via SQL ALTER TABLE DDL statements. (This is in effect how CHGPF with SRCFILE() works, "under the covers".)
